"Supreme Court Declines Review of Virginia High School's Admissions Policy on Racial Preferences"

The Supreme Court declined to intervene in a case involving a Virginia high school's admissions policy aimed at promoting diversity, which led to a decline in Asian American students and an increase in Black and Latino students. The policy, which does not consider standardized test scores and guarantees places for top students in various middle schools, faced a legal challenge citing racial balancing. The court's decision not to take up the case comes after its recent ruling ending the consideration of race in college admissions, with conservative justices dissenting and arguing for striking down the policy.
